Matthew, Fairport

"Playing fields covered with dense turf have proven safer, as demonstrated by a simple egg drop test. When a dozen raw eggs were dropped from a height of 11 feet onto a two-inch thick piece of dense turf, none broke; two thirds of them broke on thin turf from that height; and from just 18 inches up, all broke on an all-weather track!"
